Bad
It pains me to criticize what was once an exceptional medical practice, but recent years have been a constant struggle. Securing an appointment has become increasingly challenging, and when patients attempt to voice concerns, the practice manager dismisses them. There's a clear preference for quick, band-aid solutions rather than comprehensive care—prescribing long-term addictive medications without a withdrawal strategy and showing reluctance to refer to specialized services. Some physicians seem distressingly detached, with one even callously telling a suicidal patient, "Do you realize I have other patients?" While these issues aren't entirely the staff's fault (budget cuts and growing patient loads have certainly contributed), the impact on patients and their families is real and painful. I long for the days when this practice genuinely advocated for those in their care.
